welcome back.
when I first read your post before seeing the photo I was afraid your FJ had been stripped of all those new parts.

was it a slow leak or did someone let the air out? it doesn't look like there is a slash, so i hope it was just a slow leak. next time you go on vacation you can park in my garage.

Mrs. Bozly would be more than willing to take care of the FJ when your away, there would be no flat tires,

pin striping and skid plate wear maybe, but no deflated tires.

Please help Bozly, he needs you to donate your FJ so he can continue to drive his. Times are tough and 1 FJ is no longer enough for a family.... please do what you can.....

Well I have to fix it. What do you suggest me to do? I'm so lazy :)
I could change the tire and go to les schwab? I wish I had a compressor to see what is the problem.

But that will not tell me if it is a slow leak or if a neighbor cut the tire

You do not have to have weight on the tire to tell if it has a leak. It is easier to inspect for damage with it off the truck anyway.

It is suprisingly difficult to cut into a tire with a knife....ever since they introduced steel reinforced tires! I remember trying to cut a drain hole in very cheap tire for a tire swing...was damn near impossible (think of all the rock rubbing that happens). The drill however worked much better!

If yoru really lazy and have AAA call them. Otherwise "FJ" up and put on your spare :-P. Good luck!
